COMMUNICATED.

MesSrs Editors Il regret very much to
hear of the failure of the saw and grist mill
enterprise to be established in our town.
| hope the matter may be again revived,
for, in my opinion, such an enterprise will
bc second 10 none that has been established
in our town by reason of its general value
and usefulness
Many may say such property would not
pay, but we have every reason TO hope and
believe the reverse would be true. All the
enterprises started in our town of late have
been useful rs well as paying beyond ex-
pectation. The new wharf, costing $500,
has paid dividend in less than two years of
40 per cent The hay scales have never
paid less than i2!, and have paid an aver
age of Is per cent annually since they have
been PIT M The Soricty's Hall has near
~ paid It's entire Indebtedness, and the
coal yard is quite empty.
Ii we cannot have saw mill attached,
let us have at least No. corn and feed
mill TO star. with. There is vast amount
of corn meal and feed stuff imported and
sold in this town-So much money sent
out of town. This should not be when we
are able h. meet the demands of our people
by our own capital and labor, and the mate
rial supplied in great measure from the
products of our farms.
believe there is demand for from so
To 100 bushels in the way of meal
for feed for beast, cows, horses, hogs and
poultry daily in and around our town, and
we will soon find this demand made, if it
can he met promptly, and on fair terms and
good condition.
II is well-known fact that corn, oats or
rye feed in the ear or cob is the most waste
full way il can he fed To horses or cows
Anyone who has tried coarse meal or chop
will never feed the grain, even if they have
10 pay full toll. 4 mill could do well by
taking half toll on coarse meal or chop. /
would make one suggestion "a 10 toll-that
all toll be taken by weight instead of mea-
sure. This would be more satisfactory and
save time. Hope the matter will be opened
again. and if proper and sufficient plant
is agreed upon, your humble servant will
take two shares. x~

Fenwtek's Hotel.


As the annexed clipping testifies, the
Hotel property, which was sold last Tues
day, has, for nearly twenty-nine years.
been in the possession Of the Fenwick fam
lily. During all that time it has been q
popular inn and the memories Of the old
fashioned hospitality there dispensed are
almost worldwide. Its patrons have not
been confined to tins particular locality
but, during the war times and after, it was
the stopping place of foreigners, Yankees,
Rebels-ail classes whom interest or other
motives impelled to journey to where
arms were clashing in the Sunny South"
No one who ever stopped a, this Hotel, but
will regret, when he knows, that the old
names and old faces are gone from it, per-
hhps, forever.
The BEACON, of October 18th, 1858, says !:
Mr.. John F. Fenwick, the new proprie-
tor of the Union Hotel, entered upon the
discharge of his duties as landlord on the
lst of October instant Though now ac-
lively engaged IN fitting up the Hotel, Mr..
Fenwick will not be prevented from ac-
commodating those who may give him a
call. See his advertisement in another
